Got my mobo installed, help

[chevytrucknut]

Hey guys, I got my mobo installed, but I'm having some problems...



Here's the link that will show some of the pictures I'm talking about: Sorry it's pretty blurry...

Okay, now down to business -

The PS2 connectors are not lined up with the 2 holes where they should be (on the I/O Shield), but everything else lines up. The mobo was quite hard to put onto the metal thing (that it goes on lol). I used little silver screws, and had to push the mobo, slightly, along with the metal plate. Anyways now the mobo kina looks like it may be a *little* bent. Will this cause it to malfunction?


Also, if everything on that is good - I have a usb front panel thing, and the wires that are coming from it go to either:
USB 4/5,
USB 6/7, or
USB 8/9.

It's one of those, but it doesn't specify which one in the manual. Any tips?

2 more questions to go....
My motherboard input for power-supply is a 24 pin, but my power supply is a 20 pin ~ kinda ~ it had the regular 20 pin connector, then had this thing right next to it that looked like they matched up. One piece had an arrow like this ---> and the other had an arrow like this <--- so that they match up, like so
_______________________________
20 pin connector--->|<--- 4 pin connector
---------------------------------------------
of course, the scale is off lol

So is that okay?

and that's all, I'll ask more later...


THANKS A LLLOOOTTTT!!!

:smacks head:

Did you intstall the metal pegs before you installed the motherboard? The motherboard can't touch the metal on the back or you'll short it.


You may need a 20 pin to 24 pin adapter. Its $6.99 on newegg. What kind of PSU is it?

 

[chevytrucknut]

Probably not, like I say I'm new at this. Should I send the mobo back? What does the metal peg look like?

dead gummit...

I just looked this up and read that it MIGHT be damaged. It still might work. How can I tell?

If you turn it on and it works. Reinstall it the correct way.

But see, I only have a few parts bought - the power supply, case, motherboard, and cd/dvd writer. How can i test it?

 

[SHAWN]

Do you have the CPU? If you installed incorrectly like that but you never turned it on, then your in the green dude.

 

[chevytrucknut]

I don't have the CPU, but I have never turned anything on (ironically for fear I'd screw it up!)

So everything's okay, as long as all I did was screw it in, figure out it didn't fit right, then took it out?

 

[SHAWN]

Yes, your good. I thought you cranked it up. Just reinstall it correctly and you'll be ok. Make sure you install the CPU carefully and becareful with the pins. Once broken, your screwed!
